Transmen: Real men or lesbians on steroids?

Are transmen real men? No, not any more than transwomen are real women. But they do represent a real phenomenon, that is becoming increasingly obvious.

We’ve spent a lot of time on this blog discussing transwomen (it’s one word, by the way, not two.) But as yet, I’ve said very little about transmen. (Again, one word.) Essentially, just as in MtF, there are two forms. On is a homosexual form; they are in fact lesbians with a social desire to appear as men. This is consistent with their sexuality: to attract female partners, they wish to appear to be men.

FtM HSTS transsexuals are the equivalent amongst females to the MtF transsexual who is, let us state again, a person born male who is attracted to men from childhood and is naturally extremely feminine in every way — so much so that they can never be successful men and are better off transitioning. HSTS transmen are the exact opposite.

There is a major difference, however. The key to understanding this difference is to realise that males can perform in either the male or the female role in sex. That is, they can either penetrate or be penetrated. MtF transsexuals are fully psycho-sexually and socially inverted: they have brains like women (Rametti et al), they have bodies like women, they have sexual desires like women and they desire to be treated as women in sex — to be penetrated.

This is a male-to-feminine transsexual.

Gender Identity

Gender is a function of sexuality, and in MtF HSTS, this is essentially an inverted male one. This causes a desire for sexual relations with men. An MtF transsexual is always naturally submissive socially — her physique is such that she cannot hope to compete with males. Even if she desired to have female partners, which she doesn’t, this would be a fruitless pursuit for her, because women are attracted to men, by which we mean alpha-males. So a transsexual melds the sexual and social components together to create a persona that is at once sexually submissive and attractive to male partners. (Note: there is significant emasculation desire in this profile but it is principally rewarded through penetration.)

MtF Transsexuals, simply, can have more rewarding lives if they turn themselves into sexually attractive women. They cannot hope to attract the kind of men they desire — heterosexual alpha-males — as boys or, even worse, men. Any man known to have sex with other males is immediately ruled out of the competition for sex with women and, in many cultures, including the West, will be shamed for it.

Transgender Homosexuals

All transsexuals begin as transgender homosexuals. In boys, these will be highly feminised and will have shown strong evidence of their natures in childhood; in girls this applies too, in the inverse. Male transgender homosexuals specifically want conventionally male partners. They emphatically do not want a relationship with a ‘gay’ man, since they would regard any such relationship as lesbian. How to get round this? Become a woman.

The anus as pseudo-vagina.

However, this neat solution only works because the transsexual has a way to simulate a woman’s role in sex: she uses her anus as a pseudo-vagina. Indeed, many will call it their ‘pussy’.

Many transsexuals will try to pass themselves off as ‘real girls’ and if their own anecdotes are true, this actually can be done, although we suspect that alcohol is to some extent implicated. Some are so good at this that they claim to have been able to completely fool men into believing that they were actually female, including in coitus. (This is a shockingly dangerous practice that should be discouraged.)

Most MtF will simply not penetrate men, although this may change if money is involved. The well-known propensity of cross-sex hormones to reduce penis size, erectile ability and ejaculation amount, is little of concern since the penis is not a primary sex organ for them — although, in sex work, it may be their most lucrative asset.

An MtF HSTS. Be honest. She’d fool you. But you’d not be alone

A female has no penis, surprisingly

A transman is totally incapable of fulfilling the reverse of this sexual role, because he is actually female and so has no penis. You need a penis to penetrate; this is how the word comes into being. Transmen cannot naturally be ‘men’ in the way that transsexuals can be women — in sex. And there is no ready organ that can fill the role of a penis the way an anus can imitate a vagina. Remember that transwomen actually orgasm through receiving anal penetration; it is a completely satisfying act for them. There is no such satisfaction available to a transman, without surgery.

An MtF transsexual is not just attracted to men from childhood; she is also, on average, smaller, more lightly built and more neotenous (pretty) than the men in her ethnic group. HSTS transmen, while they are much less numerous, replicate this in the inverse. They tend to be bigger and bulkier and have somewhat more masculine features.

Non-homosexual transmen

Just as non-homosexual transwomen often regard themselves as ‘lesbians’ and pursue women under this pretext, non-homosexual transmen see themselves as ‘gay men’ and pursue men.

Non-homosexual Gender Dysphoria is well researched in transwomen and is

caused by a condition called Autogynephilia. Essentially, these are males who find that their masturbatory satisfaction is more intense when they are dressed as women. They are essentially fetishistic cross dressers who ‘fall in love’ with the woman they invent, by cross-dressing and other means. Eventually, rewarded by repeated intense masturbation sessions, this behaviour becomes delusional and the man begins to believe that he ‘really is a ‘real’ woman’ . This is nonsense, of course, and the delusion causes massive damage both to women and transsexuals.

In Autogynephilia this sexual satisfaction comes from appearing as a woman while masturbating, but may also include going out in public and being ‘mistaken’ for a woman or group masturbation sessions ‘en femme’ or dressed as women. These may also involve penetrative sex, in which one partner plays the role of man while the other of woman.

So are our non-HS transmen the inverse of this group?

Most transmen are like Buck Angel, above: they are strongly homosexual, showed strong GNC and Gender Dysphoria as children, and pass well as men.

Blanchard could find no evidence whatsoever that there is a ‘female equivalent’ to autogynephilia, and this is consistent with other researchers.

Autogynephilia is ‘a man’s propensity to be sexually aroused at the thought or image of himself as a woman.’ Even if, by a little equivocation, we might show that just being a woman causes some women to be sexually aroused, that is not a female equivalent of autogynephilia.

If there were a female equivalent, it would have to be ‘a woman’s propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought or image of herself as a man,’ and that would be autoandrophilia, AAP. While the possibility of this was discounted for many years, there is, today, much evidence that AAP is a real thing. But our knowledge of how it works is very limited and there have been no large studies of the phenomenon.

Gender is not constructed

Sexuality is the precursor to gender. Male transsexuals, or MtF homosexual transwomen, look like women because they want to be fucked by men, just like all the other girls in their culture, so they adopt the manners and dress of those girls in order to compete. Once in bed, they accommodate men’s penetrative desire through oral and anal sex.

Female transsexuals, or MtF homosexual transmen, are the exact inverse. They want to fuck women, will express the manners and fashions of men and will eventually seek genital reconstruction that will allow them to penetrate their partners.

So gender is a direct consequence of sexuality, which in both sexes can lead to transsexualism, and will do so if it is socially enabled.

However, female sexuality is not the same as male. This should be axiomatic, but is has been obscured for political reasons. Men and women are not the same. We are different. Not better or worse, but different, and we have different sexualities. Transgender homosexuals of both sexes have inverted sexuality, that is, males have female sexuality and females have male. But this is not, unlike sex, a binary, but a scale of variation. So they extent of the inversion varies in each individual; some will have more of their sex-native sexuality than others, and in some, this can lead to true bisexualism.

This has consequences for gender and so, transition. Only those HSTS with fully inverted sexualities should attempt full surgical transition.

Penetration

Females do not have organs of penetration; they can only be penetrated. It’s that simple. So how can it be that some women appear to desire to ‘become men’? The answer is not in their physical reality: they cannot penetrate. While some transwomen feel such intense cognitive dissonance at using their anuses as a pseudo-vagina, most do not and very much enjoy sex this way.

Lesbians may use toys and other devices to simulate penetration but they can never ‘become men’ in sex — or at least, not without complex surgery called ‘phalloplasty’ which attempts to construct a facsimile of a penis.

Transmen in Snowflake culture

Snowflake culture represents a special case. It is the result of years of Postmodernist feminism and its attack on society. It is animated principally by misandry, the hatred of men, and specifically, white men. Women are the top dogs. It is a matriarchy seen through a glass darkly. Within it, some women seek to become alpha males in order to replace the real males the culture has removed. Where they are non-homosexual, ie they are attracted to men, they appear to be autoandrophilic, but, in parallel with the more social nature of female sexuality, they aspire to the social rather than purely sexual roles of men. Most of these individuals identify themselves as ‘gay men’ . This can cause a problem with real homosexual men, much as Autogynephilic non-homosexual transwomen can cause problems with their lesbian female sexual targets.

Homosexual transmen, that is, those who desire and seek to penetrate women, appear to closely mirror conventional male attitudes towards sex. They are socially and sexually dominant, protective, caring, and play exactly the role in a relationship with a woman that any other woman does.

Political transmen: playing the role of men

We do not know to what extent non-homosexual transmen are women who seek to play the role of men within a culture in which real men have been disallowed and any remaining men completely emasculated. As we have seen, women’s sexuality is much different from men’s. It greatly revolves around other women and the social hierarchy of women within the ‘not-men’ group.

A man or a deeply confused woman?

There is a group of transmen, who are women who try to arrogate to themselves what they see as ‘privileges’ that men have in the broader culture. However, these ‘privileges’ are illusory and they come at great cost. Men’s behaviour is minutely policed at all times for signs that they might not actually be a part of the ‘men’ group. They are expected to do the most dangerous and onerous tasks in the society. They are expected to be providers and defenders.

Political transmen seek to acquire what they see as the status and privilege of men, without ever understanding that being a man has rules. Nearly all transmen continue to enjoy female privilege, that is, men’s reluctance to engage them physically and their inclination to defer to them. All men are taught, through their schooling, that actions have consequences: other males, if provoked, may react violently; indeed, in some circumstances, they definitely will do so. In other words, men are trained in the dangers of testosterone and in how to deal with its effects. They are taught never to hit women and to defer to them socially. This is female privilege.

Transmen have no such training. This means that they exploit the female privilege they gain by not being quite passable to behave in ways and to say things that would get a real man into a fist-fight or worse. I have known transmen fly into fits of rage that, had they been real men, would have had severe consequences; but they get away with it.

It would not be fair to tar all transmen with this brush, but it is definitely something for both transmen themselves and those who deal with them to take into account.

Well, if we’re going to have trannies, I prefer mine this way. Just call me a straight guy

transmen, Lord Willing, are both real and men, however “unconventional” their path to manhood may be. a man with a micropenis would still be a man. a man with damage to his genitals would still be a man. a transwoman, despite any hormonal or anatomical anamolies they may endure, is a woman as, Lord Willing, The Lord Made her. and a transman similarly is a man as The Lord Wills. and there are nonbinary individuals. By His Grace, Lord Willing, transfolk are able to seek medical intervention and His Healing otherwise.

‘transmen…are both real and men, however “unconventional” their path to manhood may be.’

Transmen are not men, they are lesbians on steroids. There is in fact only one category of true transsexual: highly feminine male homosexuals who present as women because their sexual desires make them feel like women. The others are all mental disorders.

As you say, a man with a micropenis is still a man. That is because he has XY chromosomes.

This article is riddled with misinformation and inconsistencies, but I’d just like to address the most glaring issue. Claiming that transmen are lesbians makes little sense due to the fact that many, if not most, transmen are attracted to men.

You have some science to back up your claims? Of course not. So I’ll say to you what I say to every other Snowflake SJW that comes on here with their shit: get some hard evidence and then come back.

There are some ‘women who identify as men’ who are attracted to men, but they are not transmen. They are a form of female supremacist who seek to dominate men by adopting masculine social roles and appearance. They then predate on gay men, especially feminine ones, who are more like women (because they actually are women, sexually at least). Thus they can satisfy their heteronormative attraction to men while gratifying their resentment for the imaginary ills they think men have done them, by abusing them sexually and romantically. This is an artefact of Snowflake Culture.

‘What I do have is firsthand experience interacting with dozens of transmen. As a matter of fact, I do so on a daily basis.’

In what capacity do you do this? And where do you find all these ‘transmen’? In some liberal arts college?

‘I’ve noticed you’ve made a number of assumptions about the people who call themselves trans and they’re motivations for transitioning. ‘

It’s ‘their’. Tenure eludes you, does it?

‘You’ve stated that gay transmen are “a form of female supremacist who seek to dominate men by adopting masculine social roles and appearances.” This is a very grave statement to make about a group of people. What evidence do you have to back this up? As you’ve presented it, it sounds very much like an opinion.’

What, like the opinion you present? You have a monopoly on that? Further, how can a statement be ‘grave’? A statement is of fact; it is neutral. Further, there is no such thing as a ‘gay transman’. Those who affect to be are women displaying a perverted form of female attraction to men. They are no more ‘gay’ than autogynephilic transwomen are lesbian.

‘Also, you’ve made the claim that these individual are “gratifying their resentment for the imaginary ills they think men have done them, by abusing them sexually and romantically.” In what way do you believe they are abusing these men that choose to date/sleep with them?’

They predate on gay men who want other men as sexual partners, not women with beards.

‘Finally, as an anti-feminist, anti-SJW, libertarian,’

Appeal to authority. I don’t give a fuck what you “identify” as. I am Jesus H Christ and my address is Tomb 666, Golgotha, Jerusalem. Don’t bring that IP shit here and expect sympathy. Bring facts, I’ll listen. But you have not done that, have you?

‘I’m not sure where you get off calling me a Snowflake SJW. It’s ironic to say the least. Perhaps you’re making assumptions about a person you know nothing about (again)?’

Assumptions made on your prior comments and the context — and which I stand by.

wow you are unbelievably misinformed – not only do transmen exist and this is backed up in research shown through brainscans and physiological differences – a mirror of mtf ‘homosexual transsexuals’ but so does autoandrophilia, it is less common but plenty of evidence of it out there. Look into ftm crossdreamers.

How nice of you to be so rude. You may expect no mercy. First off, while there has been one study that claimed to find neurological differences in ‘transmen’, it did not control against lesbians and further, the lead researcher, Antonio Guillamon, says “Research has shown that white matter matures during the first 20 to 30 years of life.” In other words, we cannot tell if the changes are behaviourally induced or if the behaviour is neurologically induced. So they remain ‘lesbians on steroids’.

Further, so-called autoandrophilia has never been shown to exist and the only people touting this BS are AGP apologists like the odious Jack Molay — not his real name, of course — who are seeking legitimacy for their clandestine, crossdressed fetish. Females simply do not have these fetishes, and so-called transmen are female, just as all transwomen are actually male. Blanchard recently reaffirmed: autoandrophilia does not exist.

However, while there is an argument that so-called ‘transmen’ are equivalent to HSTS male to feminine transsexuals, this fails because of penetration: a male may perform the sexual role of a female because he can be penetrated anally. Females do not have penises, so cannot penetrate. The best they can do is a lesbian muffslurp or maybe a cucumber here or there. That is why ‘transmen’ are, literally, lesbians on steroids. End of story.

No, you do not experience autoandrophilia, if that is an inversion of autogynephilia, because 1) AGP is all about crossdressing and b) autoandrophilia does not exist. You ‘transitioned’ for socio-cultural reasons.

It was rude. I have not anywhere been offensive to transsexuals, one of which you are not, and I think a look at the links page should satisfy you that I may be a few things but I am not ignorant. Nor am I rude, although I do enjoy challenging Politically-Correct bullshit such as you are so fond of.

Just because you are a Snowflake does not mean you get to make it all up and go unchallenged.

I’m not sure if my other comment went through since I’m on my mobile so I guess I’ll try and retain the key points… I am an autoandrophile – biologically female, I think I know what I get off on thanks. Not like I want to be, I’m trying to find alternative explanations for why I want to look like some guys I find attractive, and fantasise as a guy having sex with men (and occasionally men with hemephroditic bodies. I like feminine/crossdressing men a lot.)

And here is a blog not from an AGP, from a ‘homosexual transsexual’ as it were, discussing autoandrophilia (and in other entries she talks about gynephilic ftms.)

Even Blanchard (who is woefully unaware of the extreme minority of autoandrophilics despite the literature still to this day it seems,) accepts that there is a subset of dysphoric females. There is a spectrum of degrees of masculinity too. Just like degrees of feminity on the other side.

Oh and phalloplasty + strapons are a thing.

I’m not sold on the ETLE theory, but if it is correct then it’s worth noting female furries exist too..

Still in a way it’s hilarious, we’ve perfectly slipped under most people’s radars. I guess believe what you want, gay transmen are going to keep transistioning regardless. Between people like you and the crazy feminists who bizarrely share your views on oh so pure women… (except the radfems who are all about ‘internalised misogyny’) We’ll never have to worry about being branded perverts at least like the poor ‘AGP’ I do feel sorry/protective of them in a way.

‘I want to look like some guys I find attractive, and fantasise as a guy having sex with men (and occasionally men with hemephroditic bodies. I like feminine/crossdressing men a lot.)’

That would not make you autoandrophilic, if it is taken to mean an inversion of autogynephilia. You are not the object of your own sexual desire.
‘And here is a blog not from an AGP, from a ‘homosexual transsexual’ as it were, discussing autoandrophilia (and in other entries she talks about gynephilic ftms.)’

If you read the blog, you would known that Kay and I are old friends. We don’t always agree.

‘Even Blanchard… accepts that there is a subset of dysphoric females.’

Yes there are. They just are not autoandrophilic, if that is taken to mean a female version of autogynephilia. Their dysphoria has other causes.
‘There is a spectrum of degrees of masculinity too. Just like degrees of feminity on the other side.’
I am not aware of ever having challenged that.

‘Oh and phalloplasty + strapons are a thing.’

Indeed; it is just that that ‘thing’ is not a penis, and using one does not make you a man.

‘I’m not sold on the ETLE theory’

Yet you consider yourself to have an inversion of autogynephilia, which is by definition an Erotic Target Location Error. You are very confused.

‘it’s worth noting female furries exist too.’

Please give us a break. |We’re trying top be serious here.

‘Still in a way it’s hilarious, we’ve perfectly slipped under most people’s radars. I guess believe what you want, gay transmen are going to keep transistioning (sic)regardless.’

There is no such thing as a ‘gay transman’. If transmen exist, they are a form of lesbian.

‘Between people like you and the crazy feminists who bizarrely share your views on oh so pure women… (except the radfems who are all about ‘internalised misogyny’)’

Uh? I am not a critic of transwomen. I just don’t believe we should promulgate touchy-feely lies and obfuscation in the name of New Age Postmodernist obscurantism.

If you look like a man I will use masculine pronouns and likewise if you look like a woman, I will use feminine ones. I even extend this courtesy when it might choke me, a la Bruce ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner or Justin ‘Riley’ Dennis.

Male-to-feminine transsexuals exist because they are capable, without surgery, of playing the sexual role of a woman. It would be true to say that they lie at the end of a scale of homosexuality, where the innate femininity of a homosexual man is so strong that to resist it manifests as dysphoria. Homosexual men who present as men just have less dysphoria.

A ‘transman’ is simply a lesbian on steroids (you do realise that is meant as a pun, I hope), just as an HSTS transsexual is an extreme form of homosexual male. However, you are claiming that your ‘transman’ status comes from an inversion of autogynephilia, but his is not the case.

An autogynephile is the object of his own sexual desire. This is central. It is the basis of an ETLE, without which, autogynephilia could not exist. But that is not what you describe. Have you ever dressed up as a man and masturbated in front of a mirror?

I will venture to profile you. I think you are a USican millennial. You consider yourself to be on the left, and sympathise with SJW, possibly even identify as one. You are steeped in Snowflake Culture.

Fundamental to this culture is the contemporary feminist ideas that men are all rapists, that being male is evil in and of itself and that women should play the dominant role in society.

You have swallowed the Snowflake myth wholesale, probably for reasons of peer-group conformity. It has led you to believe that you should present in a masculine fashion, to conform to the mores of the social group you are in; to help displace the monstrous real men and replace them with ‘transmen’ — since the typical Snowflake Beta or Omega male is a waste of time and space. Women have to become men, in order to run the patriarchy successfully, don’t they?

Yet you retain a completely heteronormative sexual desire to men. However, Snowflake culture debases your status if you are a woman who allows a man to penetrate her, but will raise your status if you appear to be a woman who penetrates men. This is because Snowflake culture, while it would never admit it, is as affected by Roman ideas as the rest of us and thinks that a man being anally penetrated has lost all his status to the person who penetrates him.

So, as a result of the above two factors, you present as a man and want to penetrate men.
Now all this is fine and dandy, within the context of a culture that is at best debased, but IT IS NOT AUTOANDROPHILIA. This is because, again, if autoandrophilia were actually a thing, you would be principally attracted to YOURSELF, as a MAN. Since you are not, it can’t be autoandrophilia, because no ETLE is involved. QED.

Are you a transman? I argue that you’re not, at least in a real sense. You are a product of a cultural bubble, which appears to have reached, thankfully, its maximum potential. I should guess that in a few years you’ll desist and become a tomboyish woman. There’s nothing wrong with that.

‘We’ll never have to worry about being branded perverts at least like the poor ‘AGP’ I do feel sorry/protective of them in a way.’
You probably don’t need to overdo the protectiveness of Western AGPs; they’re a pretty hard-nosed bunch.

Just my two cents…I’m a transmale female to male, fully transitioned medically and legally. I am exclusively attracted to men. I married one. I am a gay transman. They do exist. You, sir, are wrong in your claims. Have a nice day.

Pity you didn’t read the article, or was the testosterone getting in your way?

‘Snowflake culture is animated principally by misandry, the hatred of men, and specifically, white men. Women are the top dogs. It is a matriarchy seen through a glass darkly. Within it, some women seek to become alpha males in order to replace the real males the culture has removed.’

That describes you perfectly. You are a misandrist female who thinks that she can replace men and play the role of a man. But you are conflicted because your innate sexual desire is for men (yes, sex drive is innate, like so much else.) At a guess, you like to inflict pain on your (actually male) partner during the act of sex, because feminism has indoctrinated you to believe that all sex is rape and so your role, as a pseudo-man, is to rape men. That makes you a very sick puppy.

A female who is attracted to men is a heterosexual female. You are a transvestite heterosexual female whose transvestism extends to body modification. You are not a ‘gay male’ of any description whatsoever, because you are not male. You have XX chromosomes, end of debate.

So, you’re still not a man, you’re a woman with a major psychological issue, exacerbated by, if not derived from, the sick snowflake culture that you are a part of. You will never be a man. Deal with it.

Dear Rod,
(nice patronising start. Why do I just know there is more passive-aggression to come?)

while I feel it is good different viewpoints are made, and I do not have a issue with others disagreeing with mine, I do feel there’s a certain theme running through your works….. You seem to feel that being very feminine and attracted to men would make social, sexual and financial success improbable for a very femme Gay Man so they decide to become a TG.
(This is a strawman argument. I never said any of that.)

This both simplifies humanity to a cookie cutter viewpoint which fits in with your white male hetro privilege
(There is no such thing as white ‘hetro’ privilege, and besides, this is another strawman. I never said any of that either.)

way of viewing the world, and it isn’t accurate. Look around you in fashion, media, TV, beauty, sales and you will see many femme guys who do just fine.
(Straw man; I never said there were not. Again.)

Further a desire to sleep with men isn’t enough of a reason to make someone go and shift genders. It’s not hard to get sex.
(Straw man; see above)

There are loads of men out there who will have sex with a masculine looking cross dresser let alone a feminine trans woman.
(Straw man; see above)

A combination of genetics, childhood experiences, and the society one lives in, are far more likely to be the cause for gender transition.
(Straw man, see above. This is getting tiring)

Your use of images of poor uneducated trans prostitutes from Thailand doesn’t exactly help the cause of your arguments either….
(How do you know they are poor or uneducated? Straw man. And why should I care what a closeted freak who dresses up in his wife’s undies to crack one off thinks ‘helps the cause of my arguments’, anyway? They stand or fall on their own merits and your relentless misrepresentation of them just shows how well they do stand up.)

Could it be said you represent a type of straight western man who lacks the social skills and appearance to make a relationship work with western women so has to use money as a tool to appeal to trans girls in the far east?
(You freakish fetishistic transvestites just can’t hide your inherent repulsiveness and unworthiness of the title ‘human’ can you? But I do fine thanks and I certainly don’t need a delusional transvestite’s help. You make me feel like I have to go and take another shower. Like there were bugs crawling on me. Go and paint the ceiling, but don’t get it on your wife’s pantyhose.)

But that would be oversimplification of you and maybe not fair as there’s likely to be more to you isn’t there?
(Ah, the passive aggression again. I’m not passive; I think you’re an utter cunt and a disgrace to your species.)

As you are well educated and successful in life and do make some valid points in some of your debates.
(Passive aggression, the stock in trade of the repulsive Western autogynephile, a deranged man who wanks off in women’s underwear. Nice.)

Just like Myself as a Trans woman of 38 with 4 kids and a very glamorous cis female wife..
(A woman whose life, if she exists, you will ruin without a thought when you finally ‘come out to live your dream’ not to mention warping your children forever. And how Freudian that you capitalise ‘Myself’. Because that’s the only person on the planet who actually matters to an autogynephile, isn’t it, pet? You’re vile.)

I am not a pronoun obsessed person, I do not live in a bubble
(actually, yes you do. You’re a delusional fruitcake.)

and at times my life is hard however to not be able coward and hide behind the cloak of heterosexuality or manliness where I was very successful with both women and men .shows Guts and courage…. A coward dies a thousand deaths…. A brave gender dsyphoric person but one……
(Aww diddums not brave enough to be seen in public in a frock. That much of a fright, are we?)

I’ve had relationships with men before Meeting my wife, I am attracted to both men and women and I remember feeling different to other people from a young young age….. There is something about people like me that Is a little different and we don’t fit neatly in boxes…… Food for thought.
(Aye, right. You need psychiatric help, big time. And your wife should empty the bank account, take the kids and the car along with anything else that’s not bolted down and run while she still has a life. You are a monster.)

You know, sometimes I wonder if there’s actually just one autogynephilic transvestite freak out there, or if they’re all clones, cause they all come it in exactly the same way, like they were singing from the same songsheet. Anyway, this mutt felt he just had to comment; enjoy. My responses are in brackets.

I mean, I get it — no man would go near you on a dark night in the rain in a power-cut. Must sting, that. And why should I care what a closeted freak who dresses up in his wife’s undies to crack one off thinks ‘helps the cause of my arguments’, anyway? They stand or fall on their own merits and your relentless misrepresentation of them just shows how well they do stand up.)

Could it be said you represent a type of straight western man who lacks the social skills and appearance to make a relationship work with western women so has to use money as a tool to appeal to trans girls in the far east?
(You freakish fetishistic transvestites just can’t hide your inherent repulsiveness and unworthiness of the title ‘human’ can you? But I do fine thanks and I certainly don’t need a delusional transvestite’s help. You make me feel like I have to go and take another shower. Like there were bugs crawling on me. Go and paint the ceiling, but don’t get it on your wife’s pantyhose.)

But that would be oversimplification of you and maybe not fair as there’s likely to be more to you isn’t there?
(Ah, the passive aggression again. I’m not passive; I think you’re an utter cunt and a disgrace to your species.)

As you are well educated and successful in life and do make some valid points in some of your debates.
(Passive aggression, the stock in trade of the repulsive Western autogynephile, a deranged man who wanks off in women’s underwear. Nice.)

Just like Myself as a Trans woman of 38 with 4 kids and a very glamorous cis female wife..
(A woman whose life, if she exists, you will ruin without a thought when you finally ‘come out to live your dream’ not to mention warping your children forever. And how Freudian that you capitalise ‘Myself’. Because that’s the only person on the planet who actually matters to an autogynephile, isn’t it, pet? You’re vile.)

I am not a pronoun obsessed person, I do not live in a bubble
(actually, yes you do. You’re a delusional fruitcake.)

and at times my life is hard however to not be able coward and hide behind the cloak of heterosexuality or manliness where I was very successful with both women and men .shows Guts and courage…. A coward dies a thousand deaths…. A brave gender dsyphoric person but one……
(Aww diddums not brave enough to be seen in public in a frock. That much of a fright, are we?)

I’ve had relationships with men before Meeting my wife, I am attracted to both men and women and I remember feeling different to other people from a young young age….. There is something about people like me that Is a little different and we don’t fit neatly in boxes…… Food for thought.
(Aye, right. You need psychiatric help, big time. And your wife should empty the bank account, take the kids and the car along with anything else that’s not bolted down and run while she still has a life. You are a monster.)

I see I really got you with my last, ‘Alexa’. Low-life vermin like you do not impress me, although your predictability is remarkable. Triggering an insane rant from you is like teasing a cat. Except cats are more pleasant. But I do think your rantings tell us a lot about the nature of Autogynephilia and how the Western form in particular perverts its victims. And you really are a pervert, aren’t you? Which other nasty little proclivities do you have, I wonder? Personally, I’d suggest Child Services should open a file on your kids. Just in case, you know? Who knows what you get up to while wifey’s out working, eh ‘Alexa’? 😉

{More wank from the ceiling-painter} – who then says ‘I won’t dignify this with a detailed reply’ but manages a 340-word litany of insult and innuendo. My, you freaky fetishists are fragile. And despicable.

The thing is ‘Alexa’, you’re disgusting. You dress up in women’s undies to wank off yet you pretend to everyone around you that you’re a normal family man. There’s nothing ‘normal’ about you. You have a severe mental disorder which is frequently associated with others, like paedophilia, coprophilia, necrophilia and a whole bunch of other nasty paraphilias, not to mention more ‘mainstream’ mental disorders. You’re not safe around children and probably should be locked up.

Rod, these comments are bloody disgraceful, I know you have strong opinions but given I’m a gay trans man (straight men don’t want me therefore I fit into the gay/bi catagory), I think you should apologise for suggesting that I’m either a lesbian on steroids or mentally ill. As a meninist who lives as a domestic single parent I don’t think any of the comments here fit into my life. Try to be nicer to total strangers on the internet you don’t know what provoked them to comment, some of this looks really immature. And yes I see they are older comments so may not reflect current thinking.

Hi. Did you read the article? Anyway, I stand by it. HSTS transmen (natal females) are homosexual females who use hormones and surgery to change their bodies to more closely resemble those of men, just as HSTS transwomen are homosexual natal males who do the same to make themselves more closely remember women. ‘Lesbians on steroids’ is accurate, if purple. On the other hand, if female Autoandrophilia actually exists (I’m sceptical) and is the female equivalent of AGP then it would be, by definition, a mental disorder. I don’t see where the apology comes in. I suppose, if AAP is the inverse of AGP then we should expect subjects to be rampant disorder-denialists, but I leave those with it to deal with that.

If you are a non-homosexual transman then, as the article explained, this might be caused by AAP but there is no science to back that up. ‘AAP’ as an explanation for non-homosexual female transition looks to me to be a conveniently cobbled-together hypothesis with little or no evidence to back it up, save the claims of subjects. We don’t accept similar claims when made by AGPs so I wonder why we do when AAP comes along. Is it because the subjects are by definition female and thus get female privilege? That would be a bad thing. It could just be a social phenomenon akin to the recently-identified ‘ROGD’, which is not a true Gender Dysphoria at all, but a social contagion provoked by feminism.

I write what I write; I do not ‘try to be nice’. There is far too much of this nasty USican PC double-talk on the internet and an intense and ongoing attempt to stifle free speech and expression. A spade is a spade and should be called such. No article I write is targeting a specific individual.

I am not aware of ‘not being nice’ to you, in fact I have bent over backwards to be pleasant; if you are referring to the exchange with ‘Alexa’ however, then, with all due respect, it’s none of your business how I deal with a deliberately offensive visitor who was using off-topic comments to insult me (typical of an AGP transvestite; we get plenty of them coming by to drop their little hate-bombs. I’m sorry if I treat them with the contempt they richly deserve. No, scratch that; I’m not.)

The article was rewritten to reflect current thinking before being reposted. In fact was substantially changed from the original, which did not allow for AAP in females at all, since only a couple of years ago, nobody thought it was really a thing. I’m still not really convinced, but I give the benefit of the doubt. However I am increasingly confident that we will see a rash of regret and desistance amongst non-homosexual FtM. My primary concern is that this should not be allowed to impact on HSTS. They do no have a mental disorder and need to be assisted to get on with their lives as best they can. I now view HSTS as a form of intersex rather than a classic gender dysphoria.

I do think non-homosexual GD is a thing; I think Autogynephilia causes immense distress and is a very serious disorder indeed, but I am completely unpersuaded that transition, especially surgical transition, is an appropriate or even useful way to deal with it, at least in the long term. Since we know so little about AAP, I would have those reservations about that too.

I feel an apology is required for consistently asserting your belief that transsexuals are catagorised based on sexuality. It is insulting to our overall identities, very black and white and does not account for diversity.

A ‘non-homosexual transman’ is known as a gay transman in general society, whether you like it or not, sexuality is based on the person, not what others think of them. If it was insisted that I was actually a woman on testosterone, I would never be able to integrate into society and never be understood- both socially and sexually. People assume a lot based on perceived gender and change their own behaviour according to what they think the other person is.

testosterone; I’m fully aware that men ‘get seriously injured all the time’ for overstepping the mark so to speak. If an academic man such as yourself were to try and smack me one over this, there’s something very wrong with you. I am direct in my comments because I don’t respect yours.

I particularly don’t like the way you keep trying to diagnose strangers sexual conditions from a few online comments. You don’t know the background of who you are having a conversation with.

However, if it means anything to you; from your youtube + the article on here (admittedly haven’t watched every vid) I must say you do appear to be exhibiting the classic signs of a man who is so horrified by masculine sexuality, he has created this online network as a coping mechanism/self defense. You promote feminine transsexuals, seem to prefer them as a subject (yet have disrespected many by using the term ladyboy); you say that all transwomen who are attracted to women (lesbian t girls) never ‘pass’ and that the only true TS are what you call the homosexuals. Put together a case of 1000 different transwomen, and 1000 different transmen, see if we all think they ‘pass’ or not, see if anyone complains and says it’s not up to you- or anyone- to say exactly what is feminine or masculine, to award someone with a ‘pass’ like it’s an exam or something. Any suburb is teaming with a huge variety of people, many of whom (it could be said) are not magazine-worthy attractive models. Why should trans people be perfect when no one else is? The TGgirls you look at are often from beauty pageants, is that fair? How many women would want to do that? How many guys would feel comfortable as the local gym poster boy? Your trans opinions focus too often on the superficial. Transsexualism is not a fashion statement and a person, regardless of gender, should not have to be a fashion victim, or be told they don’t look right, which is a kind of fashion statement in itself. I have kids and am aware of those like you who insult my parenting values; such as teaching acceptance of diversity; not putting too much focus on looks, but placing more value onto behaviour.. and it bothers me that for every opinion like yours about TS, it throws a shade over all trans people like me. The more who agree with you; the more will think I’m wrong and thus my belief system must be wrong. Most of us are just trying to get on with our lives/work/raise children etc not have the hate crime cranked up.

You can’t view or promote the view that some transsexuals are like intersex people, medically intersex is a physical condition people are born with as a result of chromosomes, leaving the individual with a different/mixed reproductive system at birth.

Though I think it’s great that you are promoting some transwomen, they are often targeted the most and murdered regularly in some countries, just a shame you are focusing on the aspects that you personally like and insulting the rest.

Rod, you responded in exactly the way I thought that you would. If we were in a bar in the UK I could report you for hate crime.

Though according to you, because I have the nerve to be assertive to ‘a natal man’, I’d be beaten up.
You seem to have removed/edited some of your comments, or maybe they are simply not loading on my laptop.

There’s a fine line between having an opinion and actually insulting people, which is what you ARE doing. Why don’t you get permission from the people who’s photos you have used in your article? It could be percieved as targeting individuals as long as you use these. Buck Angel is a huge activist and promotes a rather different attitude, that is, of accepting diversity. Regardless of what you think, using excuses of science, you can still be viewed as trolling.

Any comments we exchange are clearly not going to leave us in a friendly place. I’d like to agree to differ. I’m not impressed with the last response from you, which is not showing on here… when will you realise that exclusion and barriers push people away, many of whom are not a problem in society; and this discrimination/exclusion spreads. You don’t like a lot of trans people. Get over it instead of making repeat vids about how YOU think it’s wrong. And I’m not impressed at the insult you snuck in about my kids. Again, strong insults and comments about people you don’t know. You are a self styled tabloid esque journalist, throwing about other people’s research and making yourself look like an idiot. This is one of the reasons why people will not take you seriously.

*When Brexit was announced there was a sudden increase in racism, police everywhere in my home town, a friend witnessed abuse in the City and other incidents were reported in the news. Many people voted to remove anyone not born here, meaning anyone who looked foreign was attacked at least verbally.

Since trans people are in a minority, why obsess over it? Does it actually affect you? Do we interfere in your actual life? Really, it’s the transsexuals who are being pulled apart, as we struggle to integrate. If you don’t understand the massive differences between male/female living you won’t understand what we go through. I can see you secretly supporting conversion therapy. Also; different races of people look different eg. Japanese men often have little or no body/chest hair so would likely ‘pass’ better on oestrogen than the average white British man. You are selective, it doesn’t support any of what you are trying to do; which is to force people to conform to ideals of sexuality. I do not want to reply to you again.
